AI is already part of daily life for a lot of us — including how people look for support when things get hard. Word In Black's Insights & Research Division wants to know how the Black community really feels about that: Do you trust an AI chatbot in a crisis? Do you think the people building these tools understand your
experience?
Black Americans, 18 and older, have been invited to take a short, confidential survey to help understand where AI might help, and where it might fall short.

Hurry, the survey closes at 5 p.m. EST tomorrow: https://wordinblack.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7OGEsyrcUh7R6om?michiganchronicle

Last night was one of those moments that reminded you just how powerful our community really is. Forty young Black professionals, each with a different story, building, leading, creating, serving, taking risks, opening doors and making room for the people coming behind them.

At a time when so much of the world feels uncertain, there was something especially meaningful about gathering in one room to recognize Black talent, Black leadership and Black achievement.

The Michigan Chronicle has spent generations documenting our stories, and nights like this are part of that responsibility, making sure the people doing the work, shaping our institutions and moving our communities forward are seen and celebrated.

Join us as we celebrate the Michigan Chronicle 40 Under 40 Class of 2026. 🖤
